Do you ride a Ducati?

[starflyer]

I will be soon. Can't believe I'm going to be forking out $25k on a freaking motorcycle.

Panigale??? i freaking love that bike:drool:

When I was 17 I was given a very used Miata. At times ladies would be impressed with what they thought was a Porch. I always offered them a ride.

Next time she says you ride a $$:&(... You say yes and throw her a helmet.

Yeah Kenny but...You deserve every buck spent on that, the way you use a bike! The Multistrada correct? :BLAA:

Multi GT, I'm sure

 

[SweaterDude]

Is there such as thing as a Ducati that has been "lightly used"?

after the first issue at 1300 miles, many people get discouraged......

or the new model that has 1cc more displacement comes out, and Cpt. Douchebag is ready for an upgrade from the bike he bought 6 months ago......

Do I ride a Ducati? Woman, Ducatis are made of Bologna.

 

[VEGASRIDER]

Yeah, Erci nailed it. MS GT version. Waiting to see what kind of color options are available for this bike in 2014 vs 2013. Currently only availalbe in the Titanium color for the GT model. It's a beast, went to the Ducati Dealership back in May in Portland and sat on the bike. My FZ6 felt like a mini bike after that.

I must say I love the look of the Monster but from everything I've heard there is a lot of maintenance involved in owning a Ducati.

 

[trepetti]

Yep. Made in the famous city. And they don't skimp! They are FULL of Bologna!

mainly the water-cooled DUCs have the majority of the problems, the air and oil cooled bikes a bit better, but still not as reliable as rice.

I dunno. I kinda think it looks like a Transformer caught in mid-change. But then again, I love those Transformers! Wonder what Vegas' range will be on that...

Don't be too harsh on us girls. Most of us didn't grow up with much motorcycle education. If a girl is asking you about your bike it's probably because she wants to talk to you and thinks you're cool. As to whether she thinks it's a HD or Ducati tells you who her "family" is.

 

[patrickb37]

Those L-twins do sound really nice though. I wish all the Harleys with loud exhausts sounded as nice as the Ducatis.

...If a girl is asking you about your bike it's probably because she wants to talk to you...

Completely agree. She just wants to start talking to you and doesn't know what to say. The only thing she knows about motorcycles is that there is a DUCATI and probably this bike is cool. That's why she mentions Ducati.

I think the modern L-engines have a 15k mile valve clearance adjustment interval, and from what I've heard from the guy at the Cycle Gear shop, it ain't cheap to have done. I guess they're probably up to some other maintanence while they're in there.

So what do you like the Multi for, Vegasrider? Is it kinda like a supermotard touring bike or what? They've always looked like great bikes.

Edit: Damn it, I watched the video now I want one.

Multistrada 1200 S Touring 2013 - Ducati

its one of the best do it all bikes, slightly less ADV than a BMW GS, but a whole lot more on paved surfaces.
